The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 1st February 2016 THE FINAL DAY!

[McFlash]

I don't want to research this as I'm at work so you'll have to enlighten my poor naive self....

What the fuck is a sex sling?

It's one of those things @Houdini straps you into in his dungeon.

 

[gazzeh]

If Stoke get Batshuyi I will be seriously pissed off!

For once Millsey, we agree with each other.

 

[Nigel Spinal]

Not really the same thing at all.

Our manager actually wants Kane and Alli at the club, unlike Pulis with Berahino.

Rumour is Peace doesn't want Pullis at the club, and is keeping Berahino for his next manager.

 

[millsey]

Sounds like Berahino going nowhere at all.

Get in!

Not with 12 months on his contract he won't

 

[tiger666]

Not with 12 months on his contract he won't

[millsey]

End of window possibility:

Newcastle: Perez, Doumbia, Berahino
WBA: Rondon, Lambert, Anichebe
Stoke: Batshuayi, Crouch, Walters, Bojan
Spurs: Kane

I'm very firmly in the "only get players in who improve squad" camp. But the above list seems very, very weird to me. I guess we have Onomah too, but he's listed on Spurs Official as a Development Squad player - all the players above are clearly senior players. We're not just one striker behind par, we're perhaps two. And I don't think Son, Lamela or Chadli can be fairly characterised as a striker in the way all of the players above clearly can.

I don't have an answer to any of this, it's just weird.

We play 4-2-3-1, whereas the others are 4-4-2? I'm not sure any of the others have 8 senior AMs

In terms of playing as a striker though, how many of the above are actually genuinely better than Son or Chadli?

Perez is very raw, Doumbia has been on the way down for a while, all the West Brom options are terrible, as are Crouch and Walters, and Bojan is surely more in the mould of Lamela, Eriksen etc.

So that leaves Berahino and Batman. We've obviously tried for Berahino but I think the prices being quoted for a player out of contract at the end of next season are ludicrous. No idea what's going on with the Bat, and I think it would look odd if we weren't in for him unless it's for ludicrous money or Poch simply doesn't rate him.

We're a team who plays with one striker, and a striker who is a firm favourite of both the manager and the fans. Players looking to come here will know that, and wonder whether they are happy to play second fiddle. And all that is apart from the fact that it's notoriously hard to actually find quality strikers available at the best of times, let alone in January. We have a great scouting network now so maybe if they haven't identified anyone who would actually improve us who's available, that tells its own story?

Bit of a biased way of looking at things. I'd rather have Chadli, N'Jie and Son than any of Doumbia, Lambert, Anichebe, Rondon, Crouch and Walters.

You could as easily write "Spurs: Kane, Berahino, Batshuayi"...

It´s as much possibility...
